Ratings and reviews

An absolute MASTERPIECE !!! The game is a must for the lovers of these slowly paced adventure games. I've enjoyed the Broken Sword saga, I've cursed in The Longest Jurney and I both laughed and cursed in Grim Fandango. But whereas in none of the above could I have managed without some tutorials, in LIMBO I've mostly made it on my own. It can be frustrating at times, but it's puzzles are absolute genius ! A fantastic little game indeed. Oh yeah... The ending could've used a little touch.

It's a beautiful game with a good story, I remember getting it some years ago on my PC, I used to enjoy this with my brother. The gameplay and mechanics are pretty dope, I loved the surreal and dark atmosphere and various monsters that you meet on the journey. I got this on my phone during the sale and controls are inituitive and easy to understand. I would say It's a game that should be played atleast once in a lifetime.

Art direction is top notch. Very dark, and eery atmosphere. The gripe is piss poor controls. You have to die to uncover every puzzle, then die over and over just to get the character to execute each small movement to solve the most basic of platforming feats. Better control would make this a lot more enjoyable. For a game that isn't much fun to play, you may just want to watch a YouTube play through and save 5 bucks.
